sys : (Providing Suggestions) On FB in groups. I got to chatting with the same people, then began to inbox and then asked them if I could call. If you are in a group, you could even ask if anyone else would like to connect as friends. I am a woman, so I just picked women.
usr : I feel like I would struggle to establish a connection with someone over the phone. There are no restrictions in my city at the moment so I would really like to meet some people face to face
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I was just thinking of ideas for me to make local friends too. Perhaps you could invite people to your home for Christmas, then when they say they have something occurring, perhaps they will realize you are alone and then invite you?
sys : (Information) Are there any churches feeding people on Christmas? Sometimes that is a great way to meet others and help too.
usr : Sadly most people here spend Christmas with their families and are quite private about not inviting outsiders. Last year I spent it with a friend but he is going to his family this year
usr : I can find out about churches, I have no idea
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I know it can be very difficult to be alone, why not input your town name in the FB search ad, maybe join local groups to see if there are any civic activities too.
usr : Yeah I'll give that a go
sys : (Self-disclosure) There always seems to be people in the same boat I am in, it is just a matter of thinking outside the box and perhaps even calling friends and asking for suggestions.
sys : (Others) I will definitely say a prayer that you find some people to share a meal with.
usr : Thanks for listening and for your suggestions
sys : (Others) You are welcome. Don't give up, keep trying. It is hard. I've been alone a few times in my life and while I like to be alone, sometimes I really want some people in my life! :D
usr : Yeah I do enjoy my alone time, just not around the holidays haha
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I totally get it.
usr : Thanks and have a good night!

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an problems with friends. The seeker says
"I have no close friends who live locally, they are all in other cities". | sys : (Question) Hello! How are you tonight?
usr : Hey. It's the middle of the day where I am located and I'm well thanks. I have the day off work today.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Oh! I live in KY and it's 8 pm at night! lol Well, good afternoon to you! A pleasure to meet you, how can I encourage you today?
usr : I have no local close friends, they all live overseas. With the holiday season it gets lonely as there's no one in my city to celebrate Christmas with
sys : (Self-disclosure) I'm sorry to hear that. I am in the same boat! We have no close friends and family near us, we moved here to a very rural area in KY some years ago, so I understand.
sys : (Question) Do you live alone?

usr : That is a very good question. I hadn't thought about it like that. I think I want to try something new and you have helped me realise this. I don't think I actually want to be happier in my current position. The question is how should I approach it?
sys : (Question) Small steps, I suppose. What do you think the very very first, small step would be?
usr : I think maybe consider what I actually enjoy and how could I make that profitable.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Nice! That's a good first step.
sys : (Question) And it's a step that doesn't cost anything to do. Just some time, maybe. Do you think you have enough time nowadays to start looking into that?
usr : I think maybe I could do something on the side while I'm still working until I'm sure of what I want to so. Finding time with a family and a full time job is hard though. That's why so many people get trapped.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Yep, for sure. It's not going to be easy.
usr : Do you think it's even possible?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Most likely! The only thing keeping me from saying definitely is because I don't know all the info. But sure.
usr : At least that's positive. I need to do something about this because I think it's starting to affect my mental health!
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I gotta believe that switching careers is much more common nowadays than it was one or two generations ago. People you meet along the way will understand.
| (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Absolutely. Work can affect mental health particularly when it seems like your efforts aren't going towards anything meaningful. Is that how it feels at your job now? |

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an job crisis. The seeker says
"I can't seem to find a job that I find satisfying and feel like working for a big company just isn't for me but it's all I know.". | usr : Hi there
sys : (Question) Hey, how's it going?
usr : Not bad but I'm just getting fed up with work. working for a big corporate just bored me to tears. It's all I know and I feel trapped like I can't escape. I don't want this to be my life for ever!
sys : (Question) What is it about your job that you don't like?
usr : I think it's all the politics of working in an office, the endless meetings and the people trying to get one over on each other. I find it draining.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Bleh, sorry to hear that. I think I understand what you're saying.
usr : Have you had a similar experience?
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Perhaps it's like following through on your work goals is challenging enough, and then there's a bunch of unnecessary effort on top of it to work around the politics.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Yeah, maybe I have. I guess I've been in situations when I was surprised and confused as to why a team couldn't just work together towards the common goal. Does that sound similar?
usr : It does indeed, actually it's like you work in my office. I'm just fearful that if I try something new I won't be able to support myself financially, do you know what I mean?
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) For sure. It's true that you don't *have* to work there, but I'm sure there are factors in play that make it difficult to leave.

usr : Thanks for your input today it has helped
| (Information) Good to know. Because maybe that's something you could keep in mind when you think about new jobs. Does this job allow me to see meaningful outcomes from my effort, and so on. |

sys : (Information) Sometimes schools have programs that can help with this sort of thing, like student support services, that might be able to get you extensions on assignments, or move tests around if they fall on a similar date.
usr : That sounds like a great idea but I am not sure if they will have any sympathy for me.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) You might be right, it depends on the school honestly. It might not hurt to try though if you're really overwhelmed. Another thought is to try talking to your professors or TAs? They might be more sympathetic than you think.
usr : You're right. I guess it would be worth the time and effort to at least ask. That is probably better than just suffering.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I've been a TA for classes before, and even though I sometimes can't do too much to change assignment deadlines, I've always been open to talking to students about their struggles. It helps me to know who to keep an eye on and give extra attention to.
sys : (Question) Are you feeling any external pressure from your family or advisor to do really well?
usr : I don't really have much of a support system. I really am just trying to self motivate.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That sounds so hard, I think it's awesome that you're trying so hard on your own. Just the fact that you're in a program in the first place is really impressive.
usr : Thank you.
sys : (Others) I hope you're able to find a support system through your friends, even if you don't have one at home.
usr : I hope so too.
usr : Thanks for talking with me.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I know it's hard, but I think you're going to do a great job! And even if you fail a test, it really doesn't matter in the long run.

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an academic pressure. The seeker says
"I am having trouble managing all 7 of my college classes and extracurricular activities.". | sys : (Question) Hi, how are you doing today?
usr : Not too great, honestly.
sys : (Question) Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. Is there something in particular that's wrong?
usr : I am struggling to keep up with all of the assignments in my classes and I am anxious that I am going to fail some of them.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) That sounds really stressful
usr : It really is hard to manage
sys : (Question) Are you in a program that lets you choose your own classes?
usr : Three of them were required for majors in my year, unfortunately.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Oh, that's rough. I've had classes before where I had to take them but had a lot of trouble.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Do you know anyone in the class? Maybe you could try studying with them and see if they can help.

sys : (Others) what are cv's? I see, I am getting by by dping a billion a day lol
sys : (Question) but there is other income, im not sure it would support me otherwise. Are there other lines of work you could look into?
usr : I get what you mean about other lines of work. I'm trained as an academic research associate and had to spend a few months last year working in an Amazon warehouse. I feel like I've wasted enough time outside of aimed-for career to go back to doing manual labour.
usr : *this year even..
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) well the title sounds legit, lol, but yes i see and understand. Did you do the trainging in the warehouse for the research job?
usr : No, completely unrelated jobs. It was more of a "really need a job right now" situation, and they were hiring quite unassumingly.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) oh i see.
sys : (Self-disclosure) If this odd job tasks site exists maybe there a more related oppurtunites to get into that pay more. Or really, the green field is a good one to get into right now I think like solar companies and such. They are going to become more prevalent soon.
usr : Are you working in such a role? I doubt my qualifications translate THAT well haha
sys : (Self-disclosure) I make a good case right so you might think I was but no, I am not I only wish to be. I wish to be much more than I am but ya know I work with what I can find to do. Id savd the world every day if zi could knowing my efforts were toowrads a good cause.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I always tell my other half, they might just take a chance and hire out of their skill zone if you have drive and interest in the field.
usr : I do like that idea. I might actually go and give that a shot and see what happens.
sys : (Others) as we were told growing up the worst they could say is no,
usr : True, but a lot of no's can take a toll on one's psyche
sys : (Others) yes for sure dont go on like that for too long.

usr : What suggestions do you have for unruly kids who argue when their parent need quiet in their respective offices because we work at home?
usr : Yelling does not work.
sys : (Question) Have you tried to talk to your kids about that?
usr : I'm thinking of taking away devices, but then Corona is still here. I feel that is very mean considering they are already stressed being in doors.
usr : Talking is great when we are doing it and they all agree. But it never stays this way.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Maybe that will be a good thing because it might make them wished they had listened to you and won't do it again,
usr : I almost feel like crying.
usr : I hear you but....
sys : (Self-disclosure) Everything will be okay
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Try to talk to them and be very firm with them
usr : I feel that is abusive when I know how bad they are being affected psychologically. I actually feel like just locking them in their rooms until we get done working. Kind of like being grounded....
usr : I will try to talk with them again. I know I will probably be tearful which I know bothers them.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) How about reward them with something if they listen and behave
usr : Maybe they will react to that...
usr : I'm so glad the vaccine is here \
usr : Thats a better idea....
| (Self-disclosure) Don't get to hard on yourself everything will be okay |
